“…New research is starting to highlight how Brexit others EU migrants in different ways revealing hierarchies of inclusion and exclusion. Although these children could be seen as located in a relatively privileged position within these hierarchies, this study shows how boundaries between “us” and “them” can easily be redrawn and how increasingly “to hold British citizenship, to have lived in the UK for a long time, or to be born in the UK were not enough to belong to the UK” (Duru et al., ).…”

This article contributes to debates on identification, home and belonging by focusing on EU children in Brexit times.1 The article combines attention to the emotional and affective side of integration with a focus on the effects of the discursive practices of the state on these processes. The article explores how Italian children and their parents navigate the increasingly neo‐assimilationist pressures in Britain. Specifically, it looks at children's ways of accommodating their parents’ values of mobility, multilingualism and transnationalism with the revived nationalist logic now dominant. The article argues for renewed scrutiny into the role of public discourses on migrants’ experiences, which illuminate the redrawing of the boundaries between inclusion and exclusion at moments of crisis.

“…The religious issue thus re-emerges on the public scene from the discussion about the impact of migration flows on models of social cohesion. The results of various studies seem to point to the fact that, in European and North Atlantic geography, tolerance toward ethnic and religious differences is dependent on demographic balances (Duru et al 2017;Beaman 2017). The nations that experience the integration of new religious identities more tensely are territories more pressured by the demographic weight of new residents, particularly visible in the so-called global cities or large metropolitan areas.…”

This review article is based on re-reading the Joas vs. Weber discussion about the macro-concept of “disenchantment”. For Joas, the Weberian thesis brings together, in a single explanatory model, different social processes that must be differentiated. Joas’s proposal highlights the need to build research models sensitive to the interaction and the play of different logics of action between tension and transaction. The collection of some of the most recent tendencies shows how research on religion and modernity has renewed its interest in “visible religion”, granting a fundamental place to study the different modalities of religious agency in the recomposition of the public domain. Reading these results allows the reconstruction of an epistemological model centered on the logic of action, considering that religion can no longer be studied only on the terrain of its institutional reproduction. Instead, the plurality of religious agency requires observation at different scales: a multiscopic and multisite perspective.

“…Media reporting of reports such as the Casey review above, and reports by researchers over the past three years (Burnett, 2017;CIVITAS, 2016;Duru, Hanquinet, & Cesur, 2017) suggest that public perception of migrants has been influenced by government policy and media reporting.…”

Belonging: A study of the relationship between migrant women's social interactions and their perception of their own integration. Migrant women settling in the UK face multiple barriers to integration. This qualitative study explored the experiences of six newly arrived migrant women who attended community ESOL classes (English for Speakers of Other Languages), focusing on the women's social interactions in English, the places in which social interactions took place and their sense of belonging. Belonging is defined as feeling at ease with oneself and one's surroundings (Miller, 2003). Data was gathered over one and a half years, using narrative interviews and oral diaries, and analysed using thematic and classic content analysis methods. The study concluded that women's social interactions took place in four main spheres: local community, public services, work and home. Data demonstrated that social interactions in English affected women's feelings of belonging from four aspects: material, relational, cultural and temporal. Findings indicated that social interactions supported women to build trust in people who were different to them and to learn cultural knowledge, practices and acceptable behaviours not formally taught in their ESOL sessions, which supported participants to gain access and to feel at ease in unfamiliar spheres. This study will help teachers to recognise the contribution of social interactions to their students' language development and integration; policy-makers to plan for future ESOL and integration programme development and funding; and assist organisations in designing more effective community ESOL programmes. Recommendations include for practitioners to plan for activities to support social interactions outside the classroom, to consider the importance of digital skills in enabling ESOL learners to participate in online social interactions, and a more joined-up approach with public service organisations to support staff in those roles to understand how to best support migrant clients who are learning English.
